| Newham General Hospital | In the pink for breast cancer
Date:- 08/10/2009 |
Patients, staff and visitors are being invited to come along to the hospital to get involved with Breast Awareness month on Thursday 22 October from 10am - 4pm.
There will be an awareness raising and fundraising stall at Zone 10 on the ground floor of the main hospital street where visitors will be able to talk to the breast services team, find out about breast screening and buy pink items to help raise money for the Newham breast unit. Staff are being asked to wear pink and make a donation of £1 to the cause and everyone including patients and visitors to the hospital are welcome to join in the fun.
Pink ribbons/badges will also be sold on the day and all money raised, will go into providing help/support/gifts for those women who are treated for their breast cancer here at Newham.
Sally Shanley, Senior Macmillan Breast Care Nurse, said: "We invite everyone to wear pink for the day and to come visit the stall and show their support. Last year we managed to raise over £300 and this year we hope to raise even more."
